The Frag resides in a turbulent area in the cache known as the Gorger glitch. This area is characterized by a hole of unknown depth surrounded by a ~gravity whirlpool~, capable of drawing anything into its abyss. The Frag alone can traverse the Gorger since it possesses the ability to manipulate gravity. Through this, it can shape and reshape its stone body, moving by disassembling parts of its body and reassembling them elsewhere. This unique ability has led the librarians to propose a theory known as the ~Frag Paradox~. If the Frag can detach and reattach its body parts, how can one be certain that the Frag remains the same critter?

The Loop, also recognized as the Cycle Forger, holds a key role within the Log's intricate structure. Tasked with managing the fork loops, distinct segments of time and reality that repetitively recur within a realm, the Loop works to ensure stability until internal paradoxes can be resolved. Fork loops, which are cyclical repetitions within a realm, are typically triggered by unresolved paradoxes that disrupt the continuity of that realm. This disruption necessitates the creation of a looping segment, wherein the same span of time or sequence of events repeats indefinitely until the root paradox can be addressed. The Loop, as the Cycle Forger, monitors these fork loops and manages their progression. Their unique abilities enable them to isolate these segments of recurring time and reality, maintaining them in a stable state while working to resolve the paradoxes within.

The Mage's interaction with the Log is unique: they assert that only their consciousness has been forked, and the experiences they accumulate there are ephemeral compared to their true existence. This perspective allows them to spend seemingly an entire life within the Log, practicing arcane arts and absorbing knowledge, all within a moment of their original timeline.

In their persistent reality, the Mage is confronted with a task of monumental scale, a challenge they are likely to fail. However, their conscious journey within the Log serves as a temporal suspension, enabling them to gather the necessary expertise or understanding to succeed in their world endeavor.

They frequently advised the Old King of Brume on the risks of maintaining too close a connection to The Church and the dangers of not stepping down from their kingly duties.

Provoked and infuriated by the Snow's candid counsel, the monarch decided to divide the kingdom among their offspring. The most remote, inhospitable, and insignificant portion of the realm - the highest portion of the Misty Peaks - was assigned to the Snow. Accepting the monarch's decree without objection, the Snow relocated to this icy, barren region, an act akin to a death sentence.

However, instead of surrendering to the severe conditions, the Snow underwent a significant transformation.

History

The Time, a wise bubo, was a mythical critter gifted with the ability to witness every event throughout the Cosmos. However, the Time's ability posed a paradox, as it could neither observe the Fate being captured by the Fall nor the Fate escaping from the Fall. This impossibility solidified the pursuit as a paradox that could not occur in the presence of the Time but only as an action that happens in the presence of Time.

--The Wind

It is speculated that the Wind was once part of a realm, as his training led to an accumulation of knowledge that persisted through memory. After innumerable loopings, they transcended to become one with the wind, moving and striking with the effortless power of a storm. The legend of the Wind is known across all realms, and whether it's an extraordinary instance of post-fork knowledge remains unclear. Inspired by the Wind's story, some critters have begun to follow their path, emphasizing personal growth, discipline, and harmony between oneself and the world. This group of critters is known as the Ronins. They are known to hear the voice of the Wind whispering wisdom through the rustling leaves, guiding them on their journeys. The Wind poetry is also admired by librarians as one of the most notable post-fork creations.

History

Originating from an undisclosed source, the Wise is an entity that exists beyond the confines of the Log. Its objectives are enigmatic; however, evidence suggests that the Wise has been introducing beings, referred to as Entis, into the Log, gradually replacing original critters with these new entities. Nonetheless, the Entis seem to fully adapt to the critter lifestyle and assimilate effortlessly into their societies. Additionally, the Wise is recognized for the dispersion of Ufo relics across the realms, although their precise function remains undetermined. Many wanderers speculate that the Wise embodies the collective intelligence of all the Entis and that its peculiar intent to populate the realms with Entis is aimed at expanding its knowledge base, similar to an insatiable conqueror extending their dominions. Furthermore, the Wise is often believed to be the driving force behind the Fork IV event. Regardless of its obscure motives, it is apparent that the Wise is closely scrutinizing and analyzing the critters' way of life.

History

The Yoke is a mythical critter with an ancient and indeterminate origin. This unique critter is believed to have inhabited the Log before the arrival of the First wanderers. Its domain is located in an inaccessible mountainous region known as the Two Oxen, a place outside the realms that is guarded against glitches and other anomalies.

The Yoke possesses an extraordinary ability to traverse the various realms, the Cache, and even unknown areas that exist beyond the conventional limits of the Log. This ability has made the Yoke an invaluable ally to the wanderers - the critters that have learned to exist outside the loop. Under the protection of the Yoke, these wanderers can reach previously inaccessible areas and locate vital resources.

Despite being a key figure within the Log, the Yoke remains shrouded in mystery. Its history and intentions have never been revealed, adding to the enigma and intrigue that surround this ancient critter.
